CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE/ Who Wants Cake?

Were you assigned dessert for this year's Thanksgiving menu? You would like to bring a homemade dessert but you don't have time to bake? Are you tempted to purchase dessert at the grocer's bakery? Don't fret, I've got an easy chocolate cake that will be eaten down to the last crumb!

My favorite cake pan is my Bundt pan which belonged to my mother. Bundt cakes made a resurgence in the 1960's and this classic shape is an original. Unlike today's pans in an array of colors, this reminds me of the days of early commercial flight before planes were painted. Nowadays, there are all kinds of beautiful Bundt molds but I am content to bake with this oldie but goodie!

I found this fabulous Chocolate Bundt Cake recipe on Pinterest. It's my go to dessert for dinner parties whether hostess or attendee. Everyone raves about this cake ... after all, who doesn't like chocolate cake? The ganache frosting will soothe your chocolate cravings! This cake takes little time to make; no mixer needed, just a wire whisk.

Grease and flour a Bundt panMix Butter, Cocoa Powder, Salt and Water over medium heat until melted.Remove from heat & set aside.Mix Flour, Sugar, and Baking Soda. Add half of the melted butter mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until completely blended. (The mixture will be thick.) Add the remaining butter mixture and whisk until combined.Add Eggs one at a time. Whisk in Sour Cream and Vanilla until smooth. Pour batter into bundt pan.Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes until cake tester comes out clean. Cool cake on rack before glazing.

Oh be still my heart! Joan.....GORGEOUS cake....it looks so moist and fudgey! I am a huge fan of bundt cakes. And I LOVE your mom's pan. I've been collecting vintage pans (how old is vintage to me these days!?!?)....and have recently purchased a couple from Etsy. Your pan is beautiful and your cake....even more so! You should join Bundt a Month....very fun, but very chill group. No huge commitment...join in when you can. But I can tell you, from looking at this cake....you'd fit in perfectly! : )

Anne, I'm flattered with your enthusiasm about this cake as you are the queen of bundt cakes, Thank you! I appreciate the invite to Bundt a Month and it's something to consider. You should do a post about your collection of bundt pans. I'm glad you stopped by to visit.

Monu, Thanks for subscribing. I just popped over to your blog..full of lots of great recipes...looking forward to spending more time there. Love the daisy cutter used for your Veggie Cutlets..great idea!

I love your vintage Bundt pan, Joan, and the tangible connection to your mother makes it special. The construction of it is heavy duty for it clearly continues to produce lovely cakes. I vaguely remember our commercial aircraft being non-painted and metallic, but that memory was quickly clouded over by the sheen on the lovely ganache. I like the idea of a chocolate cake at Thanksgiving....may you & yours have a terrific holiday!

Brooks, Thank you for dropping in for a visit to the Clinic. This cake is a great way to end any meal as it's fudgey but not too rich. I've only made ganache a few times and it always amazes me how fool-proof it is. Sending Happy Thanksgiving wishes your way.
